 Subject: MT Classic II's fit?
IP: Logged
Message:
When I get my truck lifted this month, I will then have to begin the search/savings for wheels/tires. Before I shell out $ on new wheels, can anyone tell me the tallest tire that fits on the stock 15x7 rim safely? Narrow is not an issue. Otherwise I am probably going to have to get 589s. However, I am really interested in the Mickey Thompson Classic II design. Maybe it is just the success of their advertising department. I read about them being rated to handle 33" and taller tires, which makes me wonder if the 589s are tested for the extra weight/load characteristics of so all of a sidewall? More importantly for me is the fact that they seem to cost close to the same and, despite being aluminum, they advertise steel inserts in the bolt holes. I like the idea of that on the off chance the lugnut gets loose: there isn't likely to be oval-ing wear in the lug nut hole. Maybe I am overthinking.
As for my wants/needs/goals. I need at least a 31" tire, but want a 32". I would like a 33" but nothing taller. Also, I don't want anything wider than 13" [preferably around 10-11"] because of my weird tastes. I'm just trying to be aware of all of my options. Thanks!
